“The freedom of nature at Spacehouse Himalayas cut deep into my creative self and gave me a new language of expression.”
Biswajit Das. Visual Artist. Kolkata
Spacehouse welcomes artists and creative practitioners of diverse disciplines from around the world to come and be inspired by its unique setting and enrich local communities with their presence and work.
Artists can use the Spacehouse studio and surroundings to find new inspiration, and make work without distraction. They can choose between a short stay (3 weeks) or a long stay residency (6 weeks) across spring, summer, monsoon, and winter residencies. The residency includes stay and food at the Spacehouse Himalayas at no cost to the resident-artists. On an exceptional basis, we may also be able to cover travel costs for the artists.

There is no requirement during the residency except one touchpoint by way of a talk, open house or a workshop to engage with local communities (especially women, youth, and children).
If you wish, you may choose to make an optional donation of a work any time within 10 years of completing your residency. This will go into the permanent collection of the Spacehouse Himalayas, or as a contribution towards future fundraising efforts to support the development of young artists, makers and thinkers of the region.

The residency is currently available only through invitation or nomination by the Spacehouse Himalayas curatorial advisors; artists who have completed a residency at the Spacehouse; or friends of Spacehouse Himalayas. If you would like to register your interest for the future, please write to us at hello@spacehousehimalayas.com, along with your answer to the question: What would you like to cultivate within yourself and the community around Spacehouse Himalayas?

“The other artists staying here inspired me to look much more openly. For me as a designer there is always rationality behind that I could let go. Which allowed us to explore without restriction and come up with Worst Case Scenario.”
